31. Kia Soul Base $16,995

The Kia Soul is not just a quirky design, it packs abundant interior space, with chair-like seats and big windows providing an excellent view out. Though fundamentally a budget hatchback, the Soul can be an SUV alternative, functionality-wise.

Power delivery from the 2.0-liter four-cylinder feels just adequate, and its 26 mpg overall is not outstanding. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard at this price point, and a panoramic sunroof is optional. The Kia Soul is truly fun and practical, which makes it the preferred choice by many consumers.
